— 1 min read

Ledger Live Login allows you to securely access and manage your cryptocurrency using Ledger Live together with your Ledger. Unlike traditional online logins that rely on usernames and passwords, Ledger Live authentication requires physical confirmation on your hardware device, ensuring maximum security.

Developed by Ledger, Ledger Live is built to protect your private keys by keeping them offline at all times.

How Ledger Live Login Works

Ledger Live does not use an email-password system. Instead, access is granted through:

  • Physical connection of your Ledger device
  • PIN code verification
  • Optional passphrase protection
  • On-device transaction confirmation

Because your private keys never leave the hardware wallet, remote attackers cannot access your funds without your physical device.

Steps to Log In to Ledger Live

Follow these simple steps to securely log in:

1️⃣ Open Ledger Live

Launch the Ledger Live desktop or mobile application.

2️⃣ Connect Your Device

Plug in your Ledger hardware wallet (or connect via Bluetooth if using a compatible device).

3️⃣ Enter Your PIN

Unlock your Ledger device by entering your PIN directly on the hardware wallet.

4️⃣ Access Your Dashboard

Once unlocked, Ledger Live will sync with your device and display your accounts and balances.

You are now securely logged in and can manage your cryptocurrency.

Supported Devices

Ledger Live Login works with:

  • Ledger Nano S Plus
  • Ledger Nano X

Both devices require transaction confirmation on the device screen for added protection.

Security Advantages of Ledger Live Login

🔐 Offline Private Keys

Your private keys remain securely stored inside the Ledger device.

🛡 Physical Confirmation

All transactions must be approved directly on the device.

🚫 Phishing Protection

Since there is no online password login, phishing attacks are significantly reduced.

🔑 PIN & Passphrase Protection

Additional layers of protection keep your wallet secure even if your device is lost.

What If You Forget Your PIN?

If you forget your PIN:

  • The device must be reset.
  • You can restore your wallet using your 24-word recovery phrase.

⚠️ Without your recovery phrase, your funds cannot be recovered.

Important Security Reminders

  • Never share your 24-word recovery phrase.
  • Do not enter your recovery phrase into any website.
  • Only download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website.
  • Always verify transaction details on your device screen.
